Community Suspected Anthrax Case in Nong Bua Lamphu After Man Eats Raw Beef
UPDATE Suspected Anthrax Case in Nong Bua Lamphu Tests Negative – Authorities Continue Animal Testing Picture courtesy of Matichon. Health authorities have confirmed that a suspected anthrax case in Nong Bua Lamphu province has tested negative, easing fears in the local community following widespread social media speculation. The patient, a 64-year-old man identified only as Mr. Thongsuk, from Nong Ruea subdistrict in Non Sang district, reportedly began experiencing symptoms on 23 May. He had not been involved in animal farming but was believed to have consumed raw minced pork (larb) at a local Bun Bang Fai rocket festival. Initial symptoms included itchy pustules on his back, later spreading to his arms, abdomen and shoulders, with black scabs eventually forming. The patient sought medical treatment on 29 May. Initial gram-stain laboratory tests returned a positive result, prompting concern over a possible anthrax infection. Further testing was conducted by the Department of Medical Sciences under the Ministry of Public Health. As of the morning of 31 May, officials confirmed that the patient’s samples showed no trace of anthrax DNA, according to the final laboratory results. Authorities have urged local residents and livestock farmers to remain calm. Meanwhile, Nong Bua Lamphu provincial livestock officials, led by Ms. Wallapa Waraassavapat, have begun collecting samples from animals kept in the same area. It is suspected that the meat used in the raw dish may have come from one of these animals. Blood and tissue samples have been sent for testing, and results are expected on 1 June. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and advise the public to avoid consuming raw meat to prevent food borne illnesses. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-01. -

Crime Cyber Agency Warns of Millions of Leaked Accounts Linked to Pirated Software Use
Picture courtesy of The Standard. The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) has issued an urgent warning following the discovery of over a million leaked user credentials, blaming pirated software as a major cause of severe cyber threats to both individuals and organisations. Air Vice Marshal Amorn Chomchoey, Secretary-General of the NCSA, revealed on 30 May that investigations by the national Computer Emergency Response Team (ThaiCERT) had uncovered widespread use of illegal software. This, he said, had become a primary entry point for hackers to infiltrate computer systems, steal data and launch ransomware attacks. “The use of pirated software is still alarmingly common. It’s not just an issue of legality, it’s a significant security risk. Once malware embedded in this software accesses user credentials, such as usernames and passwords, it allows hackers to infiltrate internal systems undetected,” Amorn stated. He warned that infected systems can expose sensitive login information for services such as VPNs, Remote Desktop connections and cloud platforms, giving attackers direct access to organisational networks. Once inside, they can move laterally across systems, stealing data or deploying ransomware. According to Amorn, more than one million usernames and passwords have already been compromised, with some victims losing entire balances of cryptocurrency from digital wallets. The attacks typically go unnoticed by standard security software, as the credentials used are legitimate and trusted. ThaiCERT’s analysis revealed that various forms of malware are often bundled with pirated software. The most common threats include: • Phishing – Scams where attackers impersonate trusted entities to trick victims into revealing personal or financial information. • Ransomware – Malicious programs that lock a user’s data and demand payment for its release. • Cryptojacking – The unauthorised use of a victim’s device to mine cryptocurrency, leading to performance degradation and overheating. Amorn urged the public and organisations to conduct basic checks for signs of malware infection and to cease using unauthorised software immediately. Users can visit the NCSA website at www.ncsa.or.th for guidelines on how to detect potential infections and take appropriate action. The agency emphasised that securing systems and using only licensed software is essential in the fight against increasingly sophisticated cybercrime.
